Back in 1989, the old Soviet Union was on the decline and the country began to open up to westerners. As a result, the folks who made "Murder, She Wrote" actually got permission to film parts of the episode in Moscow itself!!
Jessica is on a tour of the USSR and is invited to a party for dignitaries and foreign guests. While dancing at the party, she notices that a waiter has just stolen her purse! When she yells for him to stop, he runs...and security folks give chase. In the excitement, the thief is shot and killed. When Jessica looks through her recovered purse, she finds some microfilm inside!!
As you'd expect in any "Murder, She Wrote" episode, Jessica works to solve the crime. However, while it's difficult to believe American police working with her, the notion of her working with the KGB and Soviet police is REALLLLLY hard to believe....and seems impossible. Still, if you can ignore this, it's worth your time....and offers a few nice views of the city.
